Gentle Lips (Follow Up To Shall I Beg?) Poem by Adrian Cordova

You've stood in the rain long enough, it's time to come inside.
I understand why your crying, but your trying to hide them I this rain.
You've cried for so long the reddness has been washed away.
Please understand that I still hate you.
I just can't stand to see a woman as beautiful as you cry this much.
But standing in the rain to hide your tears doesn't help.
It just washes what happiness you have left away.
And gives it to the next in line.
So come over, it's like I said, you've stood in the rain long enough.
Here I can give you my gentle lips in a harsh kiss, your medicine for my pain.
